A Disappointing 12 Months for Popyrin
A year ago, Popyrin was looking upwards, having just won his first senior title in Singapore.
But his form has dipped since then, and he is finding results increasingly hard to come by.
He would have been disappointed by his performances on home soil in January, reaching the second round of the Melbourne Summer Set, but beaten first time out in Sydney and at the Australian Open.
The switch to Europe went no better, with three successive first round defeats in Montpellier, Rotterdam and Marseille.
He can, though, take a modicum of comfort from his performances in Dubai, where he came through qualifying, and won his first round match before losing to Ricardas Berankis of Lithuania.

First Indian Wells Appearance for Machac
Machac is making his first appearance in the main draw at Indian Wells, but he is continuing his bright start to the year which included winning a Challenger tournament in Australia and then qualifying tor the Grand Slam there for the second successive year, going on to reach the second round.
He also qualified for Marseille and reached the second round there.
Having played for his country in the Davis Cup last weekend against Argentina, he entered the qualifying competition in California, where he had a good win against the experienced Moldovan, Radu Albot, in the first round.
He was given more of a battle by the Ukrainian Illya Marchenko in his next match but, having dropped the first set, came from behind to win.
Popyrin v Machac Prediction and Tip
Despite his recent poor form, Popyrin has made the second round at Indian Wells on his two previous visits, and will start the marginal favourite to do so again against the qualifier.
Tip: Popyrin to win: 8/11 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
